Potenciálmérket
Potenciálmérket, often translated as potential meter or potentiometer, is an electrical component that acts as a variable resistor. It typically consists of a resistive element, such as a carbon track or wire wound around a former, and a movable wiper that slides along this element. By adjusting the position of the wiper, the resistance between the wiper terminal and either end terminal of the resistive element can be changed. This makes it useful for controlling voltage levels within a circuit.
The primary function of a potenciálmérket is to divide voltage. When connected across a voltage source, the
Potenciálmérket can be used in two main configurations. As a variable resistor, it's connected between two terminals,
